The Hallmark Christmas Channel in a Mexican Bar Restaurant

Who knew? There is actually someone living in New York who walks into a Mexican bar restaurant, looking a bit like George from the Seinfeld show, who asks for bread with his order, is amazed when they don't have it, only tortillas, who asks for the TV remote and pilots it away from the last 30 seconds of Wisconsin-Duke, Wisconsin by 2 and all the FIFA news of the coming World Cup draw, and gives us instead the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center as reported on News at 11, and then searches painstakingly until he finds the Hallmark Christmas channel and some movie with the one-time world's prettiest boy, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, my son said, (one-time prettiest only because he looked a bit like Timothy Hutton in Ordinary People) dressed in a Santa's helper costume and needing to get his huge dog somewhere by air, so he flies in the kennel through storm-tossed skies with him. I think it would have been bizarre even if my fever didn't feel like 102. Do such people exist in New York? When will I learn that all garden and exotic variety of people exist in New York? Then he proceeded to block the entrance talking on his cell phone when I wanted to leave, get home, walk my little dog, and -- bliss -- get into bed and cover myself with about 17 layers of blankets. Oh, btw, Wisconsin 73, Duke 69 -- yes!
